Update! (updated the update, hah)

Just got in from my monitoring appt, and things are looking good. Lining was nice and thick, (at least) 5 follies on the right and 3 on the left. Lefty was kinda hiding behind the uterus, so OW. But really. Not too bad. The follies she measured were on average 15-17mm, so things are looking GREAT. Based on my E2 today (Monday was 1100), the nurse expects I'll go back in for a scan & bw on sat or sun, and trigger will likely be sometime this weekend! Squeeee!

Holy crap it's almost here. (where's the shocked emoticon guy?)

Updated...
Nurse has already called back (!!) - E2 is 4100, so up nicely.. I'm in for bw & us on Sat and probably trigger on the weekend!!

Also, had stim-protocol acu last night, and it was so weird. Good weird, but still. For the first time in the 1.5 years I've done acu, they were all in my back (with exception of one in my calf, and one at the ankle, per leg). Guess something's working. Squeeeee!

Finally...

69 days later - DGT is pretty much here. I started light spotting around dinnertime, and except full CD1 tomorrow. That means CD3 bw on saturday at the walkin, and such is life.

I have to wonder if the extra acu points that she did yesterday helped at all... i mean, 24 hours after I leave my appt, i start spotting. just bizarre. which means that the clinic WASN"T effed up with the dose of provera, and y'know, maybe they know what they're doing after all :P

Did get a bit of interesting news today though - looks like I'll be going on training in mid April... like Apr 19-21. hopefully that'll be my 2ww... one way to take my mind off things, no? but eeek. could be dicey timing :( and it's really not something i just can't do. ugh ugh ugh. ah well. it'll all work out...

i've been thinking a lot lately...

first off, I had mentioned back here that my acu. is pg... did I mention that she's having twins? Ya... she's close to 15 weeks now, due beg. April (technically, although they'll probably come sooner). What does this mean for acu treatments when/if we cycle? Dunno. I will see her next week, and will try and hammer out a plan (y'know, with the limited info on our cycle I do have). There are other acus at the clinic I go to, but I like and *clicked* with this one, so now to not have her support when we'll possibly be cycling, blows huge huge goats. I know another girl across town that I like, but she's well, across town, and this one is just around the corner from my office. Proximity is nice...

Anyway. Since that thought about acu popped into my mind this weekend, and after the followup on Friday, I'm starting to wonder whether there's a bigger reason things keep popping up, and forcing us to wait/put plans on hold. Are we supposed to NOT have children? Did I piss someone off in a further life (or was I a prostitute with 18000 kids, and this is retribution)? Do we just stop the running around at some point, and just (try to) accept that we're childless? Do we continue to run around chasing a dream like a carrot on a stick? Run run run, wait wait wait, run wait run wait wait wait run - no wonder I'm crazy. Do we just become "awesome Auntie Chelle & Uncle J" to everyone else's kids? or grumpy Auntie Chelle/Uncle J?

Gah, so many questions, and they all make me sad, but HAVE to be dealt with. Goodie, another chat with J. I'm so excited, seeing the direction the rest of them have taken....

Vomit inducing (but not in a good way)

You know, I love my acupuncturist. She's awesome, I love going - there's something that is quite relaxing about it (even though you're covered in needles). But there's one thing I just can't do - I can't drink the chinese herbs she prescribes. Two of the four I can do in capsules, but the other two just are too precise of measurements that it doesn't really work well and should be drunk as tea... or as a shot. Um.. no. I've tried it as full out tea, as a shot and yeah, I vomit basically every time. It's disgusting. I'm afraid my short luteal phase will not be cured by chinese herbs, Mel. Sorry babe, but I just can't do it.
